An African Painting (untitled and in progress)

The opportunistic vultures await in the tree top... The idea comes from a photograph that my aunt took while on safari in Africa and the idea was too good to pass up. Although there will be alot of detail in the painting, the simlicity of the image adds to the power of the moment. This painting is currently in progress.

Barn Swallows

This new 9"x12" studio painting depicts some barn swallows getting ready to fledge. They barely fit in their nest and are waiting for their mother to bring a meal. Soon they will be flying and catching their own insects. With the weather we've been having lately (snow, rain, and sleet) this painting brings memories of warm summer weather.

Daily Painting Blog

I have started a new blog that will be dedicated solely to the daily studies that I have been creating. You can see these paintings and bid on them at this link. The paintings are also listed on the 'originals' page of my website at this url: http://www.mathiosstudios.net/Original%20Painting%20a%20Day.html. This blog will continue to be the posting site for art news, studio paintings, daily musings and anything else related to my art.

This is Day 4 of my A Painting a Day experiment. So far, these paintings have been a lot of fun to create and I will keep doing them and posting them on my website. I am not sure if I will continue the eBay selling after the first week. That will be determined after the seventh painting...

Aspens (Sold)

Everyday for the next week, I am going to complete a postcard size study that will be auctioned off on eBay. Most of these will be completed first thing in the morning to start off my painting day and get me warmed up for the detailed work of my studio pieces. Here's the catch - each painting's opening bid will be $1. If you have been looking to make the jump to collecting original paintings, now is your chance. Each painting will average the size of a postcard; meaning they will be between 4"x4" and 5"x7". As an artist, I am always looking to grow and this should improve my studio paintings as these studies are a fantastic exercise in painting. Happy Bidding!
